Is there a complete list of requirements and version info. of all necesary modules and software i.e.: php, MySQL, Apache etc. that is required to install a complete Open EMR installation with Window$ 2003 server, advanced server, webserver or datacenter?

Will OpenEMR work with M$ SQL 2005+ ?

Is there a D/L for the OEMR Manual?

Is there anything I can do to help develop this application?

There have been previous lisits of required versions but this has not been recently updated. Recent versions of Apache, PHP and MySQL have been working. Starting with OpenEMR 2.8.1, late versions of PHP 4, and PHP 5 work, (globals needs to be turned off)

Beginning with 2.8.2, MySQL 5 has been working with all tested versions of Linux. It has not yet been tested on MS 2003 server and related Microsoft versions but will likely work without modification.

I listed other loaded modules and my configure parameters from my production server below.

Generally there has not been a problem with Windows 2003 server, etc.

There has been trouble with the “Home” editions of Windows. Likely this is do to incomplete libraries.

Will OpenEMR work with M$ SQL 2005+ ?

The development team has been abstracting the database layer from the PHP. As such the goal is to make OpenEMR database independent. At this point no one has taken on the work of debugging the interface for use with MS SQL.

OpenEMR will likely work if you would be willing to work on the abstraction layer. A lot of the abstraction occurs in the file openemr/library/sql.inc. More specific information can be obtained from the development team at SourceForge:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=202506


Is there a D/L for the OEMR Manual?

No. But this should be easy to do.

Is there anything I can do to help develop this application?

Sure. Helping debug the MS SQL as noted about would be good. Again say hello on the developers forum. I could use help on this site updating the information about Microsoft installation of OpenEMR.

Thanks,

Ok Thanks. Now, where can I change the timeout on setup? I keep geting this error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\Program Files\Xampp\htdocs\openemr\setup.php on line 257

It seems to be building the database and initial tables, but times out before it is complete and I can't get any further. As soon as I get it going I'll give you a better step-by-step Windows 2003 Server installation guide as it worked for me.

Thanks,
Brad

Dear Brad,

Did you solve this timeout problem?

Loading the tables for OpenEMR never takes more than a few seconds. I don't really think this timeout is coming from inside OpenEMR and is more likely being triggered by the Webserver (?Apache or IIS?) or your Windows 2003.

Sam Bowen, MD

Yes I did solve the time out issue. Turns out the problem was hard drive failure! Imagine that! A new Seagate has now been replaced with a newer WD and everything installed smoothly. I should have known better than to use a Seagate on a production server in the first place. I have been rather busy with other corporate IT issues for the past few months but now I am able to refocus on my OEMR server installation hopefully for a while. I'm quite anxious to see this wonderful idea in operation.

Thanks again,
Brad

Thanks Brad for the resolution.

Thanks for the help. This is really useful. I have been looking for this.

Do you know if there's any compatibility issues with Windows 7? Thank you for all the invaluable information!

Thanks,
Wartrol.

Ditto on the post above. Great information that really helped me out.
